Sell And Make Money With PLR eBooks! Just Some Few Steps
Thanks to the internet, you can now make money sitting on your couch! This is the privilege a man who was alive in 1526 never got. So make good use of this privilege.
Before the internet, if you had an amazing idea to share with the world, it was impossible! But now, there’s no physical barrier. Someone in Tahiti, Mauritius, Nepal, etc, can hear what you have to say. These invisible robots on the Web are going to get your work to everybody. You just have to show your work.
So now that you have put in the effort to rebrand and add enough valuable content to the PLR eBook you bought or got for free on the platforms I recommended, it’s time to sell it for some cash!
I applaud you for getting your eBook ready, it’s not easy! If you’re lost here, read this article about PLR products before you continue with this one.
In this article, I’ve provided you with 7 BEST platforms or websites where you can sell your rebranded and well-altered PLR eBooks.
And because uploading your eBook on these platforms alone won’t get you results, you’ll also get to know how to promote these eBooks after the end of reading this article.
7 BEST WEBSITES TO SELL PLR EBOOKS
1. Payhip.com
This is the first I am talking about because I’ve used it myself. Payhip comes with amazing features like the discount coupon, analytics to access how sales are going, and also customer assistance.
You are required to have Stripe or Paypal to receive payments. There is a transaction fee Stripe or Paypal charges and a tiny amount of fees Payhip also deducts.
What makes me like Payhip is its affiliate program that you can join and start earning commissions when you refer someone to sign up on the platform.
You can be on Payhip forever without paying a dime, but whenever there is a transaction, 5% will be deducted. Plus Stripe or Paypal transaction fee.
You can also pay $29 per month, but whenever there’s a transaction, 2% will be deducted. Plus Stripe or Paypal transaction fee.
The last is the Pro plan, which comes at $99 per month with zero transaction fee but a Stripe or Paypal transaction fee.
2. Fiverr
Although Fiverr is well known as a digital platform where freelancers like audio transcribers, logo designers, video editors, etc offer services to clients, it is also one of the highly recommended websites to sell your PLR eBooks and all other digital products.
Creating an account to sell on Fiverr is Free! But whenever you make a sale, you keep 80% and the 20% goes to Fiverr – Not so good I guess.
But what makes Fiverr one of the best platforms to sell is the amount of traffic it gets per month. Similarweb says that Fiverr gets over 50 million monthly users.
So you have a high chance of making some sales – even though, there’s high competition on the platform.
Moreover, to sell on Fiverr you have to be around all the time to send out emails when someone buys your eBook because there is no email autoresponder to send out your eBook.
You, therefore, have to do it manually.
Take Note: To prevent your seller’s account from deactivation by Fiverr, try to log in very often. Staying away from the platform for 1-2 weeks is dangerous for your account.

3. Selz
On Selz, you can sell all forms of digital products. Live sessions, digital downloads, eBooks, software, etc, as well as physical products.
It is one of the leading platforms to create your eCommerce website should you decide to do that in the future.
Selz makes it easy to receive payment when you make a sale. Paypal is accepted on Selz.
But if you happen to be in one of the countries where Paypal isn’t used, you can use their built-in payment gateway; Selz Pay. Payments are done daily, weekly, and monthly.
Selz has three pricing plans, these are, the Basic plan which comes at $29 per month, the Standard plan which comes at $59 per month, and the Advanced plan, at $199 per month.
There are some amazing features you get for all the plans. You get unlimited storage bandwidth and customers, custom domain, customer analytics to help you track sales, traffic, and orders, security digital file delivery, discount codes, and many more.
There is zero transaction fee with Selz. Nonetheless, for Basic, Standard and Advanced plan, there is a Card rate of 2.9% + 30 cents, 2.8% + 30 cents and 2.7% + 30 cents respectively. But failure to use Selz Pay for transactions, you are charged additional fees 2%, 1% and 0.5% respectively.
This platform isn’t accepting new sellers anymore since it has been bought by Amazon.
4. Amazon
Well, I think this is the mother of all the platforms. The go-to website for eBooks is Amazon for most people! Amazon has a 75% share of the market in the U.S already.
According to Similarweb, Amazon gets a monthly visit of 2.46 billion! So you could be ahead if you had your eBook in front of at least 20 out of 2.46 billion every month.
But the hard truth is that it’s difficult to stand out on Amazon. It’s just like putting a crab in the Pacific Ocean – it’s gone forever because even the whales are lost over there.
The competition on Amazon is so high that your eBook might never be seen.
All the same, Amazon has set a price range of $2.99 – $9.99 for eBook sellers. If your eBook price falls within this range, you get a 70% royalty rate. However, if it exceeds $9.99, 35% paltry of the sale price goes to Amazon.
On Amazon, the stress of dealing with customers would be over since everything is taken care of by Amazon. Anyway, this could either be an advantage or a disadvantage.
All things being equal, you can still give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe you could make some sales on this platform.
5. Gumroad
This website is also an incredible place to sell your eBook. It’s free to join Gumroad with no monthly charges.
However, Gumroad only makes money when you make money. If you make no sale in 2 months, Gumroad also gets nothing. Nonetheless, there are some fees to pay for every milestone you reach. Have a look.
Moreover, Gumroad gives you some amazing features. In order to prevent free downloads, you can stamp the PDF with the buyers’ credentials.
This is to serve as a disincentive for customers who might abuse their ownership of the eBook. This is not the only feature you get on Gumroad. Discount codes, Customizable receipt, Automated email workflow, etc.
The mode of payment is either Direct or via Paypal, depending on your country of residence. Gumroad makes payments every Friday.
6. Blurb
Blurb gives you the privilege to create an eBook from scratch whether you’re an amateur or a professional.
After creating, you can sell on Blurb Bookstore, Ingram, Amazon, Apple Bookstore, and Kickstarter. Apart from eBooks, photo books, magazines, and trade books can also be created and sold on Blurb. Here is the pricing for selling eBooks on Blurb:
For fixed-layout eBooks which are compatible with Apple iPad, Mac computers, and Amazon Kindle Fire, you pay a $9.99 conversion fee with no royalty.
However, for read-anywhere PDFs which are compatible with any device, $4.99 is paid per title. Blurb is a great platform to sell your eBook!
7. Sellfy
It’s not only digital products that can be sold on Sellfy but physical products, print on demand(hoodies, mug, t-shirts, etc), subscription, and video streaming!
On Sellfy, you get a magnificent storefront within a few minutes. Shopping cart, customization, different language options for your customers based on their location, domain name linking, and the ability to optimize your store for mobile devices are all made simple.
There are also features to make marketing easier; email marketing is possible, discount codes at your fingertip, as well as tracking pixels and upselling features.
Again Sellfy has measures in place to prevent sharing of your PLR eBook since only one unique download link is given to buyers and has limited download attempts
Payment is made via Paypal or Stripe depending on your location. Sellfy gives you a Free, Starter, Business, and Premium plan at $0, $29, $79, and $159 per month respectively.
Final Words
Uploading your PLR eBooks on these and going back to sleep will make you zero sales. Use the same momentum you used to rebrand and edit your eBook to promote it on social media platforms.
The noise on the internet is massive to the extent that when you don’t shout enough nobody would hear you. Even if you have a treasure to give them. Continue to promote your eBook and you’ll definitely get good results.
